Shall we have to create the material groups in the SPRO Customising screen and how is it done in the customising.Is the grouping useful only to seggregate different types of materials or is there any specific use. Also what is the use of CLASSIFICATION header in the Material Master.

Hi,

Classification by maintaining classes allows us to classify materials having similar characteristics. A material can be assigned to one or more classes.

Classification data will be valid for the whole company, maintained at client level.

Classification system uses characteristics to describe all types of objects, and to group similar objects in classes u2013 to classify objects, so that you can find them more easily later.

We can use the classes to to find objects more easily, using the characteristics defined in them as search criteria. This ensures that you can find objects with similar or identical characteristics as quickly as possible.

Hi Selva,

To define material group follow following SPRO path:

SPRO -> Logistics - General -> Material master -> Setting of key fields -> Define Material group

Here you can define material group as per your requirement, which will comes Material master -> Basic data 1 feild.

You can use material groups to:

Limit the scope of analyses

Systematically search for material master records via matchcodes

Hope this helps.

Thanks!!!
